In the sacred narration of the Glorious Varaha Purana, the greatness of Gokarna is extolled through a vivid account of his deeds and their profound fruits. It is said that the planting of one peepal, one pichumanda, one banyan, and ten kinds of flowering trees brings immense merit. Just as a virtuous son uplifts his family, so too, with great effort and discipline, does the planting of such trees benefit all beings. Gokarna explained that these trees, by providing shade and rest for weary travelers and shelter for birds, serve as sanctuaries for life. Their leaves, roots, and bark become medicines for the living, their wood is used for household needs, and their branches offer homes to countless small creatures. Twice in the year, these trees bear fruit, delighting birds and other beings. Thus, those who truly understand reality see the planting of sons—virtuous acts and trees alike—in this way. Then, as the story unfolds, Sri Varaha exclaimed in sorrow, "Alas! How terrible!" Overcome, he fell unconscious. His companions consoled him, sprinkling water so that the wise one regained his senses. Gokarna then declared, "In Mathura, that garden and temple belong to me. If I journey there, may it be in the presence of the king of the ancestors." The eldest among them offered, "I will take you, if it pleases you, O sinless one." Swiftly, they mounted a vehicle shaped like a celestial chariot. Gokarna was instructed, "Take this gift for the king; you must offer him something priceless." With resolve, Gokarna rose and went to where the king was stationed. The king, delighted upon seeing him, welcomed him warmly, seating him with affection on half the throne, as one would honor a giver of jewels or wealth. The king said, "I will show you something wonderful and also tell you about it, O sir. As my army moves in but half a moment, so you must act likewise." Gokarna did exactly as the king had instructed. All those present praised Gokarna, saying again and again, "Well done! Well done!" Gokarna then reported all that had transpired to the king, who was greatly pleased. In gratitude, the king bestowed upon him villages and ancient cities. Truly, the supreme wonder is the great fruit that arises from the dharma of the sacred grove. Thus concludes the one hundred and seventy-second chapter, celebrating the greatness of Gokarna. Continuing, Sri Varaha spoke of Gokarna's reverence and virtue. Gokarna honored the four—Shuka, his parents, and his virtuous wife—worshipping them as best as he could. In that place, he himself performed a great sacrifice for unobstructed success. There were songs, musical instruments, and auspicious rites, all conducted for the growth and well-being of his son. Gokarna embraced each one, bowing in proper order. Yet, as he remembered the parrot, Shuka, in his heart, the merchant wept. By Gokarna’s actions, the king obtained the most excellent and abundant gain. Thus, Gokarna lived happily among his relatives. He established the shrine of Śukeśvara and performed a divine sacrificial session, which became known as the Śuka-sacrifice. Upon his death, Gokarna attained liberation. By giving the parrot, Gokarna received the merit equal to bathing at the sacred confluence of rivers. With his wife, he gifted the parrot to the Śabara, and thus, both ascended to heaven. All this, which yields great fruit especially in Mathura, has been told for the benefit of all. The lineage of Gokarna is inexhaustible and imperishable, sustained by righteousness. Thus ends the one hundred seventy-third chapter in the glorification of Gokarna. And Sri Varaha declared: "The power of the confluence grants liberation even to sinners.
